Johnny Rotten - SELL OUT

[Bod]

There were very few people I thought would sell out.
Mr Lydon was one of them. Show what I know.

[pac-man]

Can't fault a guy for liking a certain brand of butter.

[Kitsa]

He drank Ramones piss.

I never really took the Sex Pistols all that seriously. Johnny Rotten always seemed like he had too much to prove.

[pac-man]

You can fault a guy for appearing on Judge Judy, though.

[Kitsa]

I can fault him for drinking a beer in which the Ramones had pissed without even noticing anything was amiss.

[pac-man]

I'll chalk that up to him being used to drinking warm beer.

[Kitsa]

That would have to be some really bad beer to not notice the piss. :/

[Tadao]

Bod vrs Kitsa = Sex Pistols vrs Ramones = SLC Punk rant.

"Another thing that pisses me off, talking about who started punk rock music. Was it the Sex Pistols in england, was it the Ramones and the Velvet Underground in New York? It was the Ramones, it was the Sex Pistols. Who cares who started it, it's music. I don't know who started it, I don't give a fuck. The one thing I do know is that we did it harder, we did faster, and we definitely did it with more love. You can't take that away from us."

Fuck you UK!

[Kitsa]

I love SLC Punk, but I don't ever claim the Ramones started it. They didn't even like the label much :P Ramones are stripped-down rock, if anything.

Punk -probably- started with Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground, which is a shame because I hate both. Yet punk is good.

Can't get much more entertaining than Boris the Sprinkler.

But I think that the Sex Pistols ruined punk because their posturing gave it a really negative connotation and everyone coming after that thought they had to live up to all the Sex Pistols garbage.

There were very few people I thought would sell out.

Surely his participation in various "I'm a Celebrity..." shows would've tipped you off?

[Tadao]

Our his fake fight with :puke Green Day.

[Nick]

Johnny hates Green Day. That's enough to me.


I also enjoy how he has sold out, selling out to the most horrible things imaginable. It's great fun!

[Tadao]

Green Day made Johnny matter again. Johnny loves Green Day.

[Nick]

How did they manage that.

[Zomboid]

Every band that's been named in this thread sucks.

[Tadao]

They made MTV introduce him to the late 90's.

[Nick]

I thought every new band who pretends to be punk rockaz tells everyone that either the Sex Pistols or Ramones inspired them. You know, so they can pretend to be hardcore.

[Tadao]

And then Johnny started in with how much they suck, only to embrace them later on in an mtv concert together.

[Dixie]

Johnny's been like that for years.
Anyone else remember his VH1 show?

[Kitsa]

Anyone seen Johnny Ramone's wife recently? Ye gods!

[Tadao]

Ye gods as in good? I hope :(

[Kitsa]

Good if you like a strong Noo Yawk accent, giant sunglasses (wait- I know how you feel about those), fake tan, gobs of conspicuous gold jewelry, shellacked and bouffanted hair, and high-maintenance nails. Johnny was sort of looking like that toward the end, too, unfortunately. It was like their caricature idea of what Hollywood people were like, but really she just came across as a mafia wife extra from some DeNiro movie.

I'm vaguely disappointed in Joey for being upset over losing that.

[Tadao]

Ahhhh! a J.A.P.

[bigtimecow]

can this really be considered selling out though? i'm sure johnny rotten makes shit for money (what on earth does he do now?) and he needed some sort of gig to live off of

and slc punk is a great movie, but i'm not getting into music here :rolleyes

[Tadao]

Truth be told, I read about this a month ago and wondered if I really cared. Then I thought about Jello getting his ass kicked! :lol Fucking stupid Jello.

[Nick]

Why are we ranting about Jello Biafra now. :(

[Aaarg]

do u guys like My Chemmical Romance????????

[Tadao]

Why are we ranting about Jello Biafra now. :(

I tend to wander.

[Nick]

Jello Biafra is awesome. Even if he is having a giant pissy bitch fight with his band mates. :(

[Dimnos]

Sex Pistols :blowme

Green Day :domosleep


Ramones :rock


Dead Kennedys :worship

[Kitsa]

Dimnos: EXACTLY. Only for me, reverse the Dead Kennedys and Ramones ones.

Rock on Kitsa! :rock Rock on!

[Aaarg]

I BLEW GEORGE AND HARVEY'S BRAINS OUT WITH MY---SIXGUN!

[Tadao]

The Clash was better than the Sex Pistols anyways.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I thought Catholics were the original Punk Rockers.

[Tadao]

Teenage angst is the original punk rocker.

[Grislygus]

WELL I will have you all know that I will always like the Sex Pistols and that the Ramones are at their core a glorified love song band with no musical variety



I like them too, though

[Tadao]

Well i´ve been up all night again
Party-time wasting is too much fun
Then I step back thinking
Of life´s inner meaning
And my latest fling
It´s the same old story
All love and glory
It´s a pantomime
If youre looking for love
In a looking glass world
Its pretty hard to find
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldnt trade you
For another girl
Divine intervention
Always my intention
So I take my time
I´ve been looking for something
Ive always wanted
But was never mine
But now Ive seen that something
Just out of reach - glowing -
Very holy grail
Oh mother of pearl
Lustrous lady
Of a sacred world
Thus: even zarathustra
Another-time-loser
Could believe in you
With every goddess a let down
Every idol a bring down
It gets you down
But the search for perfection
Your own predilection
Goes on and on and on and on
Canadian club love
A place in the country
Everyones ideal
But you are my favorita
And a place in your heart dear
Makes me feel more real
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldnt change you
For the whole world
Youre highbrow, holy
With lots of soul
Melancholy shimmering
Serpentine sleekness
Was always my weakness
Like a simple tune
But no dilettante
Filigree fancy
Beats the plastic you
Career girl cover
Exposed and another
Slips right into-view
Oh looking for love
In a looking glass world
Is pretty hard for you
Few throwaway kisses
The boomerang misses
Spin round and round
Fall on featherbed quilted
Faced with silk
Softly stuffed eider down
Take refuge in pleasure
Just give me your future
Well forget your past
Oh mother of pearl
Submarine lover
In a shrinking world
Oh lonely dreamer
Your choker provokes
A picture cameo
Oh mother of pearl
So so semi-precious
In your detached world
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldn´t trade you
For another girl

THEY ARE ALL BAD

[Zomboid]

>:

[Rez]

what, we agree.

damn, chillout.

[bigtimecow]

i think original punk rock fucking blew

music now a days generally sucks dick too

but if you find that sweet spot riiiiiiiiight in between, that's where it happened ;D

[Kitsa]

Who the hell cares? You like what you like and it's no skin off their asses.

[bigtimecow]

you might as well question the whole purpose of a forum then you fucking moron

[Kitsa]

I do, daily.

[darkvare]

lol he looks like a fag in the video and honestly i don't even know who he is

[Kitsa]

He always looked like a hybrid of Rik Mayall and Yahoo Serious to me.

[Bod]

Dead Kennedys - what a great band to get into when a teen. So many bands dwell of self pity and emotions that, in fact WE ALL get but emo bands pander to this, so teens think they're somehow special for suddenly developing a need to write poetry and cry. Fuck that. Dead Kennedys at least made me feel a fool for such self indulgence even if they couldn't stop me. Jello gets it wrong a lot, but at least he gets any fan thinking about what he says - which is question everyithng, imncluding himself.

Johnny Rotten, I never took his lyrics seriously but his book was very clever. He came across as genuinely annoyed at rich cunts exploiting the goons, and now he is one!

Am I the only person on the planet with no desire to be stupidly rich....having enough for a comfy lifestyle and travel is just enough for me. And that's a lot, what more is to be had, really?

[MetalMilitia]

My guess is he's not even that rich, I mean he hasn't exactly done much in the last few years - and how much money could you actually make selling t-shirts to ill-informed TV personalities that wish to appear edgy? Particularly as it's just as likely they'll buy a Motorhead t-shirt instead.

Maybe he needed a new kitchen and these adverts paid for it. I hear kitchens are expensive.

[Kitsa]

I think the shirts were some Malcolm McLaren BS, actually.

Can't stand that guy.

Y'know, I've never seen them all in a room together......
